Description

 

For over a month, protesters, led by women, have fanned across Iran in defiance of lethal response. What is the broader impact of these protests – kindled by the death of a 22-year-old woman at the hands of morality police – there and beyond? Hear from journalists and area experts steeped in the history of the Islamic Republic and the current events on the ground. 

 

Featuring Negar Mortazavi, a Washington-based Iranian-American journalist forced into exile in 2009 and Saeid Golkar, an assistant professor in the Depatment of Political Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Moderated by IOP Speaker Series director Jennifer Steinhauer.
